November 6th to 10th, 2017

The Center for Science and Environment (CSE) is pleased to announce a five-day training programme aimed at giving practical inputs to participants on conducting sector-specific Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for mining and mineral industry from 6th-10th November 2017.

The minerals sector is a key driver of the country’s industrial growth. However, it has brought in its wake severe environmental repercussions and social conflicts. One of the greatest challenges, therefore, is how to make mining environmentally and socially responsible.

Unfortunately, most of the environment assessment reports either overlook or poorly interpret critical issues related to mining projects. Hence, there is a dire need to develop the capacity of those involved in the mining industry, including environmental consultants, mining operators, project proponents, compliance authorities, academics and NGOs to understand the issues, and identify and implement solutions for the overall interest of communities and the nation.
